Two steps mainly not just one. Just as Taking a normal Raw File and converting it to grayscale makes doing your work a two not one step process. So its kind of the same thing as what you're talking about only in reverse. We're just getting rid of the color wash and leaving ourselves with the black and white elements. The controls though that are available to do this in the past couple of years in the Adobe Camera Raw raw filter is ideal. - a dream come true. Ideal for a final clarity of image. Things can be made to separate that you'd never think you could. For a black and white worker we're living in an ideal world. . Never better. -------------------- Mark William Rabiner Photography http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/lugalrabs/ mark at rabinergroup.com Cars: http://tinyurl.com/2f7ptxb > From: Alan Magayne-Roshak <amr3 at uwm.edu> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Date: Tue, 4 Jan 2011 12:58:34 -0600 (CST) > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: [Leica] What are the most important aspects of a photographic > image? > > On Tue, 04 Jan 2011 Mark Rabiner <mark at rabinergroup.com> wrote: > >> I think the great days of black and white are over.
